An Imperial Stout that comes in a can.
An Amazing Imperial Stout that comes in a can.
I am floored by:
(1) How good this beer is. Chocolate, coffee, deep roasted malts, licorice, smoke and chicory all show up in this fucking brilliant brew.
(2) That this beer is in a can. A CAN! PBR comes in a CAN! Bud Light comes in a CAN!

Feb 20, 2007 12 0z Bottle via Captaincougar (thanks). Pours thick thick black with a large brown head. Very nice aroma..pure Mocha. Ummm, ok i have a new favorite. Wow this is hard to put into words. It is everything you exprect from a great Imp Stout without any of the typical negatives. Purfect amount of roastiness, chocolate, coffee, vanilla...a little bit of licorice. I swear i even detect some hazlenut and almonds in there somewhere. Medium carbonation. Full body, thick chewy mouthfeel. Awesome Awesome Awesome.

Apr 16, 2008 Draft at Max’s Baltimore. Opaque chocolate with a two-finger, lasting and creamy head. Aroma is a beautiful mix of cocoa, caramel, espresso, dried wood, pure vanilla, smoke, and dried herbs. Flavor is awesome and pretty much the same as the aroma, except blended so well that you can get carried away with this one - dangerously chuggable. Heavy body is so smooth its ridiculous, has some tingle and just enough dryness on the finish.

Apr 16, 2007 Updated: Nov 10, 20072007 Boulder Strong Ale Fest: Black w/dark-tan head. Very inviting nose ... classic impy stout. Super rich texture. Flavors and aromas were bold and intense from start to finish. Chocolate blast everywhere. Tons of hop flavors and aromas, yet it was amazingly balanced. Healthy bitterness to boot, with a drying finish. Wonderful, wonderful beer. This was the highlight of the festival, for me. RERATE, can: Just and rich and rewarding. Complex, with dark chocolate, charcoal, licorice, caramel, tar, ... I love it.
